SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All machinery is inherently dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its general
operation. Lorenz Manufacturing Company strongly recommends that no person without a
thorough understanding of how the Lorenz Row Crop Cultivator operates be permitted to
operate the machine. The machine should be operated only by responsible persons who
have read the operators manual, and are informed about the machine’s use and are
delegated to do so.
Prior to operating the Row Crop Cultivator, be sure to read and understand this Operator’s
Manual. If there is any portion you do not understand, or any phase of the machine’s
operation you do not understand, be sure to contact your local Lorenz dealer or Lorenz
Manufacturing Company.
Shields and other safety features are built into the machine whenever possible; however,
investigation of many accidents show that careless use of machinery causes a high
percentage of accidents. You can avoid many accidents by observing the rules for safety
given here. Study the rules carefully and insist that they be followed by yourself and those
working with you and for you.
SAFETY RULES
Use adequate front tractor weights to provide safe steering and to prevent upset when
transporting the cultivator.
When the cultivator is attached to the tractor, at road speeds, use extreme caution and
avoid hard applications of the tractor brakes at high speeds. When descending steep
grades, select a sufficiently low gear to maintain control with minimum braking.
Reduce speed before turning quickly or applying brakes. Couple the brake pedals together
when traveling at high speeds. Brake both pedals simultaneously when making an
emergency stop. Always drive slowly over rough ground. Drive at speeds slow enough to
insure your safety.
Always keep the tractor in gear when going down steep hills or grades.
Whenever the tractor is stopped, place the transmission in the park position or lock the
tractor brakes before dismounting.
Be careful to prevent the tractor from tipping sideways if it strikes a hole, ditch, or other
irregularity, especially when operating on hillsides.
When driving out of a ditch, gully, or up a steep hillside, engage the clutch slowly. Be
prepared to disengage the clutch promptly should the front wheels rise off of the ground.
